Yesterday's key developments:
• US President Donald Trump clashed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over renewed fighting between Iran and Israel, as Netanyahu insisted that Israel has a "right to self-defence".
• Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz vowed Monday to press on with Israel's military campaign in Lebanon, despite a warning from Iran that any such action would prompt the Islamic republic to take "severe" measures in response.
• Israel conducted strikes against military targets in western and central Iran, hours after Iran fired a salvo of missiles at Israeli targets in retaliation for an attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs.
